On February 19, 2026, the @NZParliament account—overseen by Clerk David Wilson—posted its final update, directing followers to Facebook or parliament.nz for news on oral questions and Royal Assent. Wilson pulled the plug after reports of Grok generating non-consensual deepfakes and child exploitation material, saying it didn't feel right for Parliament to stay on a platform allowing that. Politicians like Winston Peters and Christopher Bishop criticized the solo decision as virtue-signaling that cuts off nearly 1 million Kiwis on X, especially heading into the November election, while free speech advocates argue it denies voters authoritative info from their top news app.

In his late Tuesday State of the Union address, Trump announced U.S. oil production up by over 600,000 barrels per day and receipt of more than 80 million barrels from Venezuela, now a 'new friend and partner' following the January 3 U.S. military capture of Nicolás Maduro. The claim followed a turbulent shift, with U.S. oversight of Venezuela's transition under acting president Delcy Rodríguez and ramped-up exports via firms like Vitol. Analysts questioned the 80 million figure, citing ship-tracking data showing only 30-40 million barrels exported since January, while Republicans applauded and critics decried it as theft.
